TFcon has shared a short video from last year's convention featuring Bob Budiansky, the man responsible for shaping much of early Transformers continuity. Check out the video embedded below. This year's event takes place July 26th through 28th, click here for more details.

Mr. Budiansky is responsible for much of the writing of the original Marvel Transformers comic, and conceived the names of most of the original Transformers including Megatron. He also wrote the vast majority of the descriptive tech spec biographies printed on the Transformers toy packages that Hasbro produced in the 1980s, giving each character it's own unique personality.

TFcon 2013 is pleased to announce that we will once again be hosting a charity auction for Make-A-Wish Canada on Saturday, July 27th, 2013. Last year TFcon raised $2705 in our first ever charity auction.The charity auction will feature many great unique donations and we hope our community will help us raise as much as possible for the Make-A-Wish foundation. If you wish to donate an item for the auction please email us.

Make-A-Wish® Canada creates magical moments for children between the ages of 3 and 17, living with life threatening medical conditions, through granting a child’s one true wish. Make-A-Wish® strives to create hope, strength and joy by giving a child a much needed respite from being sick, allowing them to experience the wholesome enjoyment of just being a “kid” again.

Make-A-Wish impacts the lives of families when they need to know that their community cares about what they are going through, as their child battles for his or her life.

Make-A-Wish exists for one reason only – to grant wishes to children living with life-threatening medical conditions. Thanks for helping to share the power of a wish®!

Man, I wish I could go . Sadly, Canada is just too far away. It's too bad they don't get guests like this for Botcon these days, otherwise it might be worth going for a hardcore Beast Wars (or 'Beasties' as it's known in Canada) like myself.
